CONTEST CLOSED – WINNERS TBA

Yes folks, you heard it here. It’s time for another Marshall Jackson on Travel reader contest! Entry will be easy, but better yet, there are all kinds of neat little travel related prizes awaiting you! The grand prizes (yes, there are two!) are great enough, but there are other little prizes along the way. Let me tell you more.

First of all, there are two great grand prizes! The first and second randomly chosen winners will receive a $50 dollar Amex gift card each, but there’s even more along the way. Let me tell you about a great little game for the travelers among us called “Airport Geek” available on the iTunes Store. I don’t know about you, but as a fairly frequent traveler (and airline geek), I love guessing the real names of the airport codes my fellow travelers are flying to. AirportGeek is a great opportunity to hone your “3-letter” airport code skills. You’re given the name of an airport, just provide the correct three letter code to earn points, game credits and extra time. Game Center support is coming in July, so you’ll be able to compare your scores with others.

The first 10 entries into this contest will not only earn an opportunity to win one of two $50 dollar Amex gift cards, but you’ll also win a promo code for the fun game, AirportGeek!!!!

How to Enter

Simple! Comment to this post! That’s all. No strings attached….well, other than commenting to this post that you want to enter the contest. (For example, “I’m MJonTravel and I’d like to enter.” If you want to earn my eternal gratification, “Like” Marshall Jackson on Travel on Facebook before you comment, but there’s certainly no requirement to! All you have to do to enter is comment to this contest entry post. Two winners of the two grand prizes will be chose at random using random.org, and the very first 10 entries to place a comment on this contest entry post receive the opportunity to win the gift card PLUS a promo code for the great new iPhone app, Airport Geek!!!!! This contest will close on Sunday, June 26, 2011 at 12:00 noon eastern time, and the grand prize winners will be announced shortly thereafter. Let’s review:

1) Enter by commenting to THIS post.

2) You must provide a valid email address so you can be contacted.

3) Grand prize winners must respond to their notification email within 48 hours. If you do not respond, we will move on to the next randomly generated number.

4) The contest closes for entry on June 26, 2011, at 12:00 noon eastern time.

That’s all! Now, let’s have a contest!
